They need to try to migrate away from the traditional record business model as much as possible, and find innovative solutions to the 21st century reality of a hyper-connected fan base that can be either the music industry's greatest marketing asset -- or its worst enemy, depending on how it's dealt with.

The pornography business is said to have dealt with widespread file sharing by offering live shows and more customized interaction with customers. Maybe the music biz could do something similar. For instance, they could have done much more, much sooner, to open up concerts to online fans, rather than the traditional approach of locking up the show content while trying to eradicate the inevitable bootleggers that are only filling a niche that would otherwise go unfilled. It's not exactly a new idea. The Grateful Dead went this route half a century ago, and taking that unorthodox step worked very well for them.]]>As a youth I was plagued by continuous disagreements between Scantron tests and the cheap #2 penciles I was issued.https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150321/16310630398/publishers-actively-monitoring-testing-students-social-media-posts-possible-cheating.shtml#c230

But so far we've already seen that all standardized tests do is compel school districts to value test scores over the welfare of the students. We've seen all sorts of shenanigans to expel students because their test scores affect negatively the school average, which in turn affects funding.

This is the end result of No Child Left Behind: children left out.

So I have no qualms about kids cheating like fire to pass those tests, since the alternative is them getting kicked out of school for costing the district money. Frankly, those kids should be bribing / blackmailing / extorting maybe even murdering their way through school. Since the administrators seem so eager to ruin the lives of young people, it's only appropriate that reprisal is in order.

Maybe when this level of desperation surfaces, it will drive us to change our school policies to actually prepare children for adult life.]]>https://www.techdirt.com/blog/netneutrality/articles/20150330/10173830486/verizon-ceo-pushing-congress-bipartisan-consensus-that-government-should-never-ever-stand-up-to-broadband-duopolists.shtml#c8

Where do they get that little gem? Say I have 100 channels from traditional cable, I get 2400 hours of content in any given day and can watch a maximum of 100 different things at any given time. Netflix blows that completely out of the water. I probably have 2400 hours of just Law and Order episodes available.]]>
